  • Original Article a Database and Functional Annotation of NF-Κb Target Genes
    Int J Clin Exp Med 2016;9(5):7986-7995 www.ijcem.com /ISSN:1940-5901/IJCEM0019172 Original Article A database and functional annotation of NF-κB target genes Yang Yang, Jian Wu, Jinke Wang The State Key Laboratory of Bioelectronics, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, People’s Republic of China Received November 4, 2015; Accepted February 10, 2016; Epub May 15, 2016; Published May 30, 2016 Abstract: Backgrounds: The previous studies show that the transcription factor NF-κB always be induced by many inducers, and can regulate the expressions of many genes. The aim of the present study is to explore the database and functional annotation of NF-κB target genes. Methods: In this study, we manually collected the most complete listing of all NF-κB target genes identified to date, including the NF-κB microRNA target genes and built the database of NF-κB target genes with the detailed information of each target gene and annotated it by DAVID tools. Results: The NF-κB target genes database was established (http://tfdb.seu.edu.cn/nfkb/). The collected data confirmed that NF-κB maintains multitudinous biological functions and possesses the considerable complexity and diversity in regulation the expression of corresponding target genes set. The data showed that the NF-κB was a central regula- tor of the stress response, immune response and cellular metabolic processes. NF-κB involved in bone disease, immunological disease and cardiovascular disease, various cancers and nervous disease. NF-κB can modulate the expression activity of other transcriptional factors. Inhibition of IKK and IκBα phosphorylation, the decrease of nuclear translocation of p65 and the reduction of intracellular glutathione level determined the up-regulation or down-regulation of expression of NF-κB target genes.

  • Combinatorial Strategies Using CRISPR/Cas9 for Gene Mutagenesis in Adult Mice
    Combinatorial strategies using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene mutagenesis in adult mice Avery C. Hunker A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Larry S. Zweifel, Chair Sheri J. Mizumori G. Stanley McKnight Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Pharmacology 2 © Copyright 2019 Avery C. Hunker 3 University of Washington ABSTRACT Combinatorial strategies using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene mutagenesis in adult mice Avery C. Hunker Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Larry Zweifel Department of Pharmacology A major challenge to understanding how genes modulate complex behaviors is the inability to restrict genetic manipulations to defined cell populations or circuits. To circumvent this, we created a simple strategy for limiting gene knockout to specific cell populations using a viral-mediated, conditional CRISPR/SaCas9 system in combination with intersectional genetic strategies. A small single guide RNA (sgRNA) directs Staphylococcus aureus CRISPR-associated protein (SaCas9) to unique sites on DNA in a Cre-dependent manner resulting in double strand breaks and gene mutagenesis in vivo. To validate this technique we targeted nine different genes of diverse function in distinct cell types in mice and performed an array of analyses to confirm gene mutagenesis and subsequent protein loss, including IHC, cell-type specific DNA sequencing, electrophysiology, Western blots, and behavior. We show that these vectors are as efficient as conventional conditional gene knockout and provide a viable alternative to complex genetic crosses. This strategy provides additional benefits of 4 targeting gene mutagenesis to cell types previously difficult to isolate, and the ability to target genes in specific neural projections for gene inactivation.

  • A Role for Alternative Splicing in Circadian Control of Exocytosis and Glucose Homeostasis

Here, we reveal rhythmic genome-wide alter- native splicing (AS) of pre-mRNAs encoding regulators of peptidergic secretion within pancreatic β cells that are − − − − perturbed in Clock / and Bmal1 / β-cell lines. We show that the RNA-binding protein THRAP3 (thyroid hormone receptor-associated protein 3) regulates circadian clock-dependent AS by binding to exons at coding sequences flanking exons that are more frequently skipped in clock mutant β cells, including transcripts encoding Cask (calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase) and Madd (MAP kinase-activating death domain).

  • Proteomic Profiling and Genome-Wide Mapping of O-Glcnac Chromatin
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19579-y OPEN Proteomic profiling and genome-wide mapping of O-GlcNAc chromatin-associated proteins reveal an O-GlcNAc-regulated genotoxic stress response Yubo Liu 1,3, Qiushi Chen 2,3, Nana Zhang1, Keren Zhang2, Tongyi Dou1, Yu Cao1, Yimin Liu1, Kun Li1, ✉ ✉ Xinya Hao1, Xueqin Xie1, Wenli Li1, Yan Ren 2 & Jianing Zhang 1 fi 1234567890():,; O-GlcNAc modi cation plays critical roles in regulating the stress response program and cellular homeostasis. However, systematic and multi-omics studies on the O-GlcNAc regu- lated mechanism have been limited. Here, comprehensive data are obtained by a chemical reporter-based method to survey O-GlcNAc function in human breast cancer cells stimulated with the genotoxic agent adriamycin. We identify 875 genotoxic stress-induced O-GlcNAc chromatin-associated proteins (OCPs), including 88 O-GlcNAc chromatin-associated tran- scription factors and cofactors (OCTFs), subsequently map their genomic loci, and construct a comprehensive transcriptional reprogramming network. Notably, genotoxicity-induced O- GlcNAc enhances the genome-wide interactions of OCPs with chromatin. The dynamic binding switch of hundreds of OCPs from enhancers to promoters is identified as a crucial feature in the specific transcriptional activation of genes involved in the adaptation of cancer cells to genotoxic stress. The OCTF nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-1 (NRF1) is found to be a key response regulator in O-GlcNAc-modulated cellular homeostasis. These results provide a valuable clue suggesting that OCPs act as stress sensors by regulating the expression of various genes to protect cancer cells from genotoxic stress.

This capacity has largely been ascribed to paracrine factors secreted by nerve-resident Schwann cells. Here, we used single-cell transcriptional profiling to identify ligands made by different injured rodent nerve cell types and have combined this with cell-surface mass spectrometry to computationally model potential paracrine interactions with peripheral neurons. These analyses show that peripheral nerves make many ligands predicted to act on peripheral and CNS neurons, in- cluding known and previously uncharacterized ligands. While Schwann cells are an important ligand source within injured nerves, more than half of the predicted ligands are made by nerve-resident mesenchymal cells, including the endoneurial cells most closely associated with peripheral axons. At least three of these mesen- chymal ligands, ANGPT1, CCL11, and VEGFC, promote growth when locally applied on sympathetic axons.

[email protected] KEYWORDS: Splicing, Genome Instability, R-loops, Microtubules, Mitosis, Yeast To achieve genome stability cells must coordinate the action of various DNA transactions including DNA replication, repair, transcription and chromosome segregation. How transcription and RNA processing enable genome stability is only partly understood. Two predominant models have emerged: one involving changes in gene expression that perturb other genome maintenance factors, and another in which genotoxic DNA:RNA hybrids, called R-loops, impair DNA replication. Here we characterize genome instability phenotypes in a panel yeast splicing factor mutants and find that mitotic defects, and in some cases R-loop accumulation, are causes of genome instability. Genome instability in splicing mutants is exacerbated by loss of the spindle-assembly checkpoint protein Mad1. Moreover, removal of the intron from the α-tubulin gene TUB1 restores genome integrity. Thus, while R-loops contribute in some settings, defects in yeast splicing predominantly lead to genome instability through effects on gene expression.

  • Developing a Network View of Type 2 Diabetes Risk Pathways Through Integration of Genetic, Genomic and Functional Data Juan Fernández-Tajes1†, Kyle J
    Fernández-Tajes et al. Genome Medicine (2019) 11:19 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13073-019-0628-8 RESEARCH Open Access Developing a network view of type 2 diabetes risk pathways through integration of genetic, genomic and functional data Juan Fernández-Tajes1†, Kyle J. Gaulton2†, Martijn van de Bunt1,3,8, Jason Torres1,3, Matthias Thurner1,3, Anubha Mahajan1, Anna L. Gloyn1,3,4, Kasper Lage5,6,7 and Mark I. McCarthy1,3,4* Abstract Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several hundred susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D). One critical, but unresolved, issue concerns the extent to which the mechanisms through which these diverse signals influencing T2D predisposition converge on a limited set of biological processes. However, the causal variants identified by GWAS mostly fall into a non-coding sequence, complicating the task of defining the effector transcripts through which they operate. Methods: Here, we describe implementation of an analytical pipeline to address this question. First, we integrate multiple sources of genetic, genomic and biological data to assign positional candidacy scores to the genes that map to T2D GWAS signals. Second, we introduce genes with high scores as seeds within a network optimization algorithm (the asymmetric prize-collecting Steiner tree approach) which uses external, experimentally confirmed protein-protein interaction (PPI) data to generate high-confidence sub-networks. Third, we use GWAS data to test the T2D association enrichment of the “non-seed” proteins introduced
